    During our initial walk-through, we will assess your space and offer recommendations on which rooms or areas should be prioritized based on your needs. However, we understand that every home is unique, so you are welcome to request that we focus on specific areas or rooms. Whether it's the kitchen, bathrooms, high-traffic areas, or any other space in your home, we are happy to tailor our cleaning to meet your preferences.

  • How often should I schedule a residential cleaning?
    The frequency of cleaning depends on your lifestyle and the specific needs of your home. In most cases, we recommend a bi-weekly cleaning if you have pets or high traffic areas, as these factors tend to create more dirt and require more frequent upkeep. If you have a busy household with children, pets, and a lot of foot traffic, we suggest scheduling a weekly cleaning to maintain cleanliness and prevent dirt buildup. On the other hand, if your home has low traffic, minimal pets, and you keep things generally tidy, a monthly cleaning may be sufficient to keep your space in good condition. We also offer one-time deep cleaning services if you're preparing for an event, a special occasion, or just need a thorough cleaning. Ultimately, the ideal frequency depends on your household's activity level and your cleaning preferences. We can always work with you to create a personalized cleaning schedule that fits your needs.
  • What's the difference between a regular cleaning and a deep cleaning?
    A regular cleaning in a routine service designed to maintain a clean and tidy space. It typically includes tasks such as dusting, vacuuming, sweeping, mopping, and cleaning common surfaces like countertops, sinks, and bathroom fixtures. Regular cleaning is perfect for homes or businesses that are already well-maintained and just need a touch-up on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis. A deep cleaning, on the other hand, goes beyond the basics and targets areas that are often overlooked during regular cleanings. It includes all the tasks of a regular cleaning but adds more intensive work, such as cleaning behind furniture, baseboards, and hard-to-reach places, scrubbing kitchen appliances (oven, fridge, microwave), and detailed bathroom cleaning (grout, shower tiles, etc.). Deep cleaning is ideal for spaces that need a more thorough cleaning, after a major event, or if it’s been a while since the last cleaning. Deep cleaning is often recommended for seasonal cleanings, moving in or out of a home, or preparing rental properties for new tenants. If you're unsure which service is right for you, we can assess your needs and recommend the best cleaning option!
  • What does a typical residential cleaning include?
    The scope of a residential cleaning can vary depending on your home's needs. Every home is unique, and we tailor our services to meet those specific requirements. For a basic or "mini" clean, we'll focus on the essentials: vacuuming, mopping, wiping down surfaces, and dusting low and mid-height areas. This service is perfect for maintenance cleaning or when you're looking for a quick refresh. For a more thorough deep cleaning, we go the extra mile, ensuring every corner of your home is spotless. In addition to vacuuming, mopping, and wiping down surfaces, we'll dust both low and high areas, clean baseboards, handles, light switches, and more. We also offer additional services like laundry, trash removal, cleaning of appliances (oven, refrigerator, microwave), and even tidying up closets or cabinets if requested. We’re happy to customize your service to suit your needs, whether it’s a one-time deep clean, regular maintenance, or a specialized request!
